"Ugh... next time... before you start the car, could you give me a heads-up... bleh..."
After dry heaving for several minutes, Meng Xingyao finally managed to recover slightly.
However, her face was still pale, and her legs were shaking as if she had just spent several days and nights doing... that.
Cipher stuck out her tongue and said in a coquettish tone,
"Oh my, I thought a Magical Girl's constitution would be better than this."
"I'm not an authentic Magical Girl!"
Meng Xingyao stared resentfully at the Cat Girl before her.
Seeing this, Cipher directly picked up a skewer of beef balls and stuffed Meng Xingyao's into her mouth.
"Alright, this one's on This Cat! At worst, today's expenses will be charged to Sister Yue's account."
Meng Xingyao (๑òᆺó๑): Cat Sister is now a successful cat with a small fortune of a hundred million in her hands anyway. In that case, it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.
With that thought, Meng Xingyao bit down resentfully on the beef ball in her mouth, as if pouring all her dissatisfaction into the food.
"By the way, Sister Cipher, is your ability teleportation?"
At this moment, Meng Xingyao suddenly grew curious about Cipher's ability.
Even though she had experienced it firsthand, the process was so rapid that she hadn't even fully figured out what happened.
Hearing this, Cipher didn't hide anything and explained while eating.
"Your sister isn't that amazing; I'm just simply fast."
Meng Xingyao (๑˙ー˙๑): ...From Viewing Tide Residence to here, even taking the subway would take about ten minutes.Yet you relied on those two long legs and brought me here in less than a minute?Are you kidding me!
Now, Meng Xingyao truly saw just how overpowered Cipher's ability was.
Even facing her best friend Flame Heart, This Cat would probably leave her helpless.
She touched her forehead in surprise, as if wiping away a layer of sweat, and then sighed softly.
"...As expected of Sister Cipher, I'm afraid no one on Blue Star can catch up to this speed."
This was indeed the truth, at least within Meng Xingyao's knowledge.
To this, Cipher only gave a light laugh, not denying the praise.
"Of course. No one can catch me; I stopped running for the sake of 'fleeing' long ago."
"Mm."
Meng Xingyao just nodded after hearing that, not noticing the strange flicker in Cipher's eyes just now...
"That's weird. Why hasn't Meng Meng arrived yet?"
"Who knows."
Liu Xiyue looked around in surprise, searching for her best friend's whereabouts.
As for Silver Wolf by her side, she was still immersed in the world of her game console.
After waiting for a moment—
"Sorry, sorry, we're late!"
Before the voice had even faded, Meng Xingyao and Cipher finally arrived at the scene.
"What were you... doing? Why do you look so listless?"
Liu Xiyue looked at her best friend's pale face in shock.
"Ah? I just ran a bit too fast on the way here, it's fine!"
Realizing the problem, Meng Xingyao hurriedly tried to explain it away, but this did not dispel the other's suspicion.
Liu Xiyue scanned Meng Xingyao's condition, and when her gaze finally landed on her still slightly trembling legs, her red pupils flickered. Her eyes unconsciously shifted toward the relaxed and comfortable Cipher nearby.
Liu Xiyue (*ﾟﾛﾟ)!!: Masaka?!!
Dammit, they had clearly agreed that everyone would stay single for life.
(Though she hadn't planned on following through herself.)
Her best friend actually "graduated" so easily?!!
Especially after knowing the partner was this top-tier Cat Girl, Liu Xiyue's heart became even more unsettled!
Silver Wolf (ᗜ ˰ ᗜ): Did I miss some exciting plot again?
Glimpsing Liu Xiyue's tightly clenched fist from the corner of her eye, Silver Wolf expressed that she couldn't understand it at all.
However, Cipher, who had been watching the show the entire time, seemed to have discovered something after sensing the faint gaze on her.
Cipher: (눈_눈)
The originally kind smile on her face instantly vanished.
And so...
"Ouch!"
"A young girl shouldn't always be thinking nonsense; you're not acting proper at all."
"Ah? Sister Yue, what were you thinking about just now?"
The innocent Magical Girl asked curiously.
Meanwhile, Liu Xiyue, whose head was full of nonsensical waste, clutched her forehead and stammered awkwardly.
"Ahem, anyway, let's hurry up and go. There are more and more people around!"
Not getting an answer, Meng Xingyao turned her gaze toward the cat nearby.
Seeing this, Cipher's mouth twitched.
"Be good, a cute Little Princess doesn't need to know so much!"
Meng Xingyao: (ꐦÒ‸Ó)
"I didn't expect that coming out for a trip wouldn't be entirely boring."
Silver Wolf, who had been watching the fight from the sidelines, ate her "melon" with great interest.
She even had the leisure to take a few screenshots and share them with Firefly...
"Forget it, you guys just stay here. I'll go buy the tickets."
After Liu Xiyue finished speaking, she quickly walked away in a huff.
Cipher and the others looked at her back with amusement.
At this moment, although they were still outside, the group's stunning outfits unconsciously attracted the attention of countless people.
Silver Wolf usually didn't pay attention to dressing up, being used to staying home as a shut-in, so she naturally wouldn't specifically prepare other clothes.
For this trip to the anime convention, she simply couldn't be bothered to go home and change, so she came directly in her original outfit.
After all, for her, she only needed to call the system for a one-click outfit change before going out, which could even clean the clothes along the way. This kind of lazy person's god-tier convenience tool was simply too perfect.
Cipher needed no further explanation—a natural-born white-haired Cat Girl big sister with near-perfect body proportions.
Even in the most ordinary daily attire, that naturally elegant aura was impossible to conceal.
Not to mention those long, slender legs; whenever she walked, they practically carried soul-stealing magic.
As for Meng Xingyao—she was simply a real-life blue-haired Magical Girl who had crossed over from the 2D world.
Every detail of her was as exquisite as a figurine, and even her every gesture perfectly recreated the classic Magical Girl atmosphere.
According to her own explanation, this was all thanks to her "Omnipotence" Special Ability.
Not only could she precisely control her hair color, but she could even achieve one hundred percent restoration of clothing cuts and accessories.
Moreover, her Magic Wand could actually release magic.
With the addition of the trio's dazzling appearances, before they had even fully stepped through the gates of the anime convention, they were already surrounded by enthusiastic fans.
And the only one completely out of place in this lively atmosphere was Liu Xiyue, who could only helplessly walk toward the ticket office alone while queuing up in a foul mood.
